Just to clarify an important point. The hostile_architecture key was suggested as a main/category tag to go along with specific keys (lying_hindrance, sitting_hindrance). Used alone, I agree that it would be very vague and could be difficult to verify. I would say to only use it in combination

Good point. By "hostile" I meant against homeless people. Without the context it would be hard to understand what is meant. `anti_homeless` maybe? Someone else can probably think of a better suggestion On Sun, 23 Aug 2020, 18:01 Martin Koppenhoefer, wrote: > > > sent from a phone > > > On 23.
